While the holidays are most peoples favorite time of the year, they are also a time of frustration. With all the good food and fun around, it is easy to have a few extra pounds creep onto your waistline. Now's the time to burn the fat and these 5 secrets will help you get faster fat loss than you ever could of dreamed.
1)Stop hunger cravings
Whenever you are feeling hungry between meals and don't know what to eat, grab a protein shake (or any protein source such as eggs or grilled chicken), 2-3 fish oil capsules and as much water as you can drink (usually 2-3 cups). This will immediately stop any cravings and also helps you to burn fat. Protein is high-grade fuel for your muscles and will actually raise your metabolism and keep you full for longer than any type of carbohydrate.
Fish oil has been proven in research to help decrease the damage of a sugar filled meal when taken before or with meals. The healthy fat contained in fish oil will also keep you full and has been shown to help you burn stored body fat. Water is another essential fat loss aid that most people do not get enough of. Anytime your body doesn't have enough water, it will immediately eat up muscle tissue. Anytime we get hunger cravings, we should reach for a glass of water since water tricks our body into thinking it is full.
2)Quick body weight circuits
Whenever you have five minutes where you are not doing anything, perform a quick bodyweight circuit. Bodyweight exercises are a fantastic way to raise your metabolism to burn fat for the rest of the day and best of all; The best thing about bodyweight training is that you can do it anytime, anywhere you are and in any clothes that you are wearing. You don't have to run home, get changed then back to the gym. Just do it right where you are standing. The circuit fashion moves you from exercise to exercise so there is no waiting around and has been shown to be at least five times more effective at burning fat then any other training method. Another tip, just jump out of bed in the morning in your pajamas and perform a quick circuit to burn stored, stubborn body fat.
3)Finish your workout the right way
Twice a week add "finishers" to the end of your workout. This is my favorite way and the preferred way of many of the top fat loss trainers in the world to burn fat instead of long, boring cardio. Finishers work so well for fat loss that they can only be done a few times a week and need to be paired with proper post workout nutrition. Finishers consist of three to four exercises done in a timed fashion at the end of your workout. This is when our body is using fat for energy so the finishers are a better substitute then hopping on the treadmill or bike. You can't beat fun and effective faster fat loss.
4) Make a power smoothie for your breakfast.
In the real world, most people don't have time to sit down and eat a healthy and smart breakfast so I won't waste your time and tell you the same boring information you've read before. Let's fix the problem of a healthy breakfast in a new way. Traditional breakfast is too hard for most people so I suggest that you make a power smoothies which are time-saving, effective and will keep you filled for hours. My favorite recipe is the "Green Tea Fat Blast"
1-2 cups of Iced, Unsweetened Green Tea
1 Cup of Mixed Berries
1 Whole Banana
1 Cup of Plain, Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt
1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder
1 Packet of Stevia To Your Taste
This mix contains stress and fat fighting anti-oxidants, green tea to attack stubborn fat, protein and yogurt to build muscle and fruits to keep you full. The best thing about this tasty smoothie is that you can prepare and blend it in as little time at 3 or 4 minutes!
5) Make your training complex
No, I don't mean to confuse yourself while you train, I'm telling you to add complexes into your training. This method is as close to the ultimate fat loss method as there is and it will cause you to literally see the fat melting off. There's no reason to stay in the gym for 45 minutes to an hour when you are trying to burn fat. Complexes get you in, get a ton of fat burning work done and send you home to burn more fat while you sit on the couch, do work or relax with your family.Here's an example of a complex
A1) Push-up 3 sets of 10 reps
A2) Chin-up 3 sets of 6 reps
A3) Dumbbell Shoulder Press 3 sets of 8 reps
A4) Crunch 3 sets of 15 reps
Rest: 60 seconds
